the air is foerced out by the screen and the faster you go the further out it is pushed, even with your deseamed minus shell the functunality of the ducts is negligable at even moderate speeds
now i'm not trying to nit pic , its a superb job no doubt, but if your serious about getting air to the engine you need to look elswhere.,
great car ,

I did contimplate puttting a raised duct in the roof to draw air in but didn't like the fact of losing what little visibility out the back that i have

To be honest I'm happy with the performance so not really going to start going to wind tunnels to get better air flow lol just wanted to at least make some sort of schoolboy effort

Ade ,i just noticed you have Nacca ducks in the rear side windows, i don't know if you have done any work on air flow ,but in my test there was almost no air to be had down the side even with 7" scoops sticking out when i tried to collect air for my rear radiator. it made no difference from when i added them and them not being in at all.

wouldnt the naca ducts on ades mini be sucking the air into them rather than scooping it in?
also what did your test involve carl? all i can think is someone in the back with there arm out the window testing how much windage you have!!! just popped into my head wouldnt mind knowing how you did it?

So I'll just put them down to looking nice and leave it at that unless I have a nice cross wind thats giving them a useful effect? LOL
